Deliverables: At the conclusion of the program, participants will submit a written summary of their research project and orally present it on the last day of the program.

Participation

We accept applications from undergraduate students who are majoring in engineering, computer science, or physics. All applicants should be U.S. citizens or permanent residents attending higher education institutions in the U.S. (other than Georgia Tech) or Puerto Rico. We are particularly interested in receiving applications from students majoring in non-research institutions and/or who come from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (low income, ethnic and racial minorities, first generation college students, and women).
